    Description

    Hospice Companionship Volunteer

    Life Hospice, based out of Livingston, NJ, is looking for kind, compassionate volunteers to provide companionship to our patients. Patient and family support can include playing puzzles, reading to patients, playing card games, listening to or playing music, sharing a cup of tea or coffee, or just sitting quietly while the patient's family caregiver can take a break. Visits will be in the patient's home, whether that be a private home or a facility. We are also looking for Reiki practitioners, licensed massage therapists, and certified pet therapy volunteers.
